Abstract(s)
From the standpoint of the school settings, sport participation constitutes a key strategy
concerning the manifestation of positive behaviors that result from the development of
personal and social responsibility. Based on the TPSR model, the goal of this study was
to evaluate the effects of an intervention geared toward teaching life skills through sport
to youngsters who had been committed. The participants were evaluated before and
after the intervention. After the initial evaluation, they were randomly assigned to the
experimental and control groups. The experimental group took part in the community
football program, while the control group attended physical education classes not based
on the TPSR model. The experimental model consisted of 3 weekly sessions over the
course of 6 weeks, which totaled 18 sessions. This investigation supplied empirical
evidence concerning the potential of community sport programs in the teaching and
development of life skills deemed necessary for an adequate reintegration of such at-risk
youngsters. The model was shown to be valid both in stimulating changes of attitudes
and in promoting the adherence to socially positive behaviors. The effectiveness of the
model, as well as its unique approach, make its application attractive to both the youngsters
and the professionals. This program facilitates the training of youngsters to act, in the
sense of promoting both their autonomy and the acquisition of a system of ethics and
moral values within a culture of responsibility for how decisions affect the individual and
the community. Finally, this intervention generated empirical support in favor of the
argument that sport constitutes a unique opportunity within the educational process to
establish values, beliefs, attitudes, and practical habits pertaining relationships and
cooperation that generate social responsibility in individuals.
